Marshall County, MS – Travel remains treacherous Tuesday morning as icy conditions continue to impact Interstate 22 (U.S. 78) near Holly Springs.
According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP), several semi-trucks became stuck on the frozen highway, creating long backups in both directions. Troopers are urging drivers to avoid the area while crews work to clear stranded vehicles and treat the roadway.
Photos shared by MHP show a long line of 18-wheelers halted on the icy interstate, with some unable to gain traction due to slick pavement. The department warns that freezing temperatures will likely persist through the day, keeping travel hazardous.
Authorities advise anyone traveling through northern Mississippi to check road conditions before heading out and to allow extra time for detours. Alternate routes are recommended until the situation improves.
